google adwords compensation. how much did you get?

[bazmanblue]

I have just received my google adwords compensation for which i have spent over 500 pounds and received a measly 0.12 pence!!! how much did everyone else get. it wasnt even worth filling out the claim paper haha

[Supercod]

When mine came in the post to fill for a claim I stuck it in the bin as I felt opening the strange legal letter from the USA was more then enough time spent on that

I am sure some people lost load via click fraud but way I looked on it was, the limited PPC I done to promote my sites paid for it’s self even if some of that was fraud so why bother.. I am sure some of the guys that lost ten of thousands on the other hand may have been hoping to get some decent compensation back, anyways I am sure a bunch of lawyers some place in the USA are very happy.

yer definately. i bet the lawyers got about 20 million dollars of the sixty million dollars. the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. it all sucks

Not really in this case.... think about it....
Solicitor (RICH) gets richer
Google (RICH) gets poorer
Affiliate (POOR) gets.... not richers, but gets £0.12 back

In my eyes, if its money owed to me then I should have it - simple as

but what about all the free publicity google gets from it. i bet sixty million is 12 pence to them

I binned my claim form also.

Yeah I chucked mine too, glad I did if that is the rate people are getting stuff back, wasn't worth the time making a claim or worrying about it.

You guys must all be too rich!
Just got in from work and no cheque from Google

[bazmanblue]

its not a cheque you will receive. if you log into your google adwords account you will find a refund of click fraud in your account page. if you applied for it that is?

[Frostie]

I applied but have had no refund

Oooops may help if I check my AdWORDS and not AdSENSE account lol. Yeah refund is there. It in the $'s not the cents
